    JL Bourne is great. My favorite is always going to be Marcus Wynne. “No Other Option” and “Warrior in the Shadows” are just phenomenal novels.

    I’m glad you mentioned him.

    I read his books when I aspired to be a fighter pilot.
    I appreciate them even more after a career as a fighter pilot.

    Highly recommended.
